-- Visor seen on The Today Show (http://discussion.visorcentral.com/vcforum/showthread.php?threadid=1150)

Matt Lauer from The Today Show this morning was interviewing a representative of the publisher promoting Stephen King's new e-book, and pointed to a graphite visor as one of the things that the book can be downloaded onto. He didn't actually call it the visor, though, just a "Palm pilot-like device" or something like that.

I saw that, too. The camera lingered on it for a while, and I kept waiting for the Visor plug, but they kept calling it a Palm Pilot. Oh, well.

BTW, you might note that if you want to download "Riding Bullets" to read on your Visor, you have to go to PeanutPress. The eBook version they are downloading from BN and Amazon are for either Acrobat Reader or for GlassBooks.

If you want the PeanutPress version, it is not free, it is the $2.50 that the others are advertising, and then discounting. Now $2.50 isn't going to break me, but I was disappointed.

larry

It's called "Riding the Bullet", not "Riding Bullets"!

Somehow "Riding Bullets" sounds vaguely obscene...

I downloaded and paid for the book the day it was put up at PeanutPress and so far it's a pretty enjoyable book. I wouldn't pay more, but for $2.50, it's worth a try.

Tan,

Can I borrow your copy of "Riding the Bullet" when you're done. I promise I won't bend back the pages or anything.

The call the Visor a Palm Pilot, like they call an inline skate Rollerblades.
